Discover Castelnaudary
Famous for its Cassoulet, Castelnaudary is a peaceful small town on the Canal du Midi. It is a must stop for pleasure boaters travelling on the canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's worth taking a stroll around the marina and the Grand Bassin (7 hectares!) and admiring the 4 staggered locks of Saint-Roch on the canal.
In Castelnaudary, you'll enjoy:
- Eating cassoulet in a restaurant in town, or during the colourful Cassoulet Festival in August.
- Embarking on a guided tour of the Canal du Midi, with picnic on board.
- Renting a boat without license and taking a small cruise on the Canal du Midi.
- Renting a bike for a long ride along the towing path of the Canal du Midi.
